Is there any way at all to carry over a variable value from level/map and check it and use it in another level/map.

You would have to save your data to a file and read it in from the secondary level. I've only played with this a little, as most stats I wanted to save are not possible to actually use when loading the data back in

For any custom variables and such it should be fine though.

SPECS: Q6600 CPU. Nvidia 660GTX. 8 Gig Memory. Win 7.

Make a winzone that saves your variables to file, and in the next level create a "memoryzone" that loads your variables. For example I've made a script (winzone+memoryzone) to store data from my RPG scripts. If don't need the RPG variables, just ignore them or replace them with your own variables. The script stores health and lives anyway. The code can be found in this thread in the first post:

Storing weapon data is bit more difficult, but possible. Housetroll has created a script for that:
